really awesome packaging job!

Well, we've read, or unfortunately, experienced horror stories when it comes to eBay and shipping, but here's one that's positive for you.

 

I purchased a CIB game from eBay Seller: manytreasures_vintagecomputing and asked that the game please be sent boxed. I received a prompt reply that they always use a reinforced box when shipping games.

 

My one game arrived in this tank:

In order (left to right), the game was sealed in a plastic bag, which was then wrapped in bubble wrap, which was then placed in a small box with an air cushion, which was then placed in a larger box and padded with more bubble wrap...all for only $4.90.

 

I think many lackluster sellers could learn a lot from this person.

Nice packaging job, wish more sellers would do even half of this (like, simply using a single box). I like those small boxes he's using (the interior box). Wonder where he got those..

Isn't it refreshing to see this for a change? you get so use to reading the horror stories of evilBay that you sometimes forget there are still good sellers out there.

I think a lot of sellers on eBay - as well as a few here - should take this to heart.

If you buy bubble wrap from a seller on eBay and he uses bubble wrap to protect the bubble wrap, how do you know which bubble wrap you bought?

Obviously, if the Bubble wrap is not opened then he used his own.

 

But if you're bubble wrap is opened, s/he probably used yours and you should demand a refund proportional to the weight of bubble wrap used.

When I move to a bigger place, I would love to have the inventory space for such packaging awesomeness.

 

Until then, people will just have to deal with my grocery bagged, bubble wrapped, taped, corrugated box packing methods. Peanuts and air bags may or may not be in the box depending on the amount ordered and dimensions of box I could find.

I am kinda sweating a packing job right now myself. I got 3 CIB games, an 810 drive, a 800xl, and a 400 all in one box otw to me from a new seller on eBay. Cross your fingers for me...

I'm a new seller, but I've been collecting for years. I mimic the good packing jobs I've received, so hope your seller does the same
